Spektrum AR610 for air only?

[Old Mechanic]

Hi folks,

New to RC Trucking and have some questions.

Can I use the Spektrum AR610 receiver for a "surface" controlled truck? The info I see it is listed for "Air" only.

I plan on buying a Spektrum Dx6i to use with a Tamiya semi so would like to have a few channels in reserve. Don't find any six channel receivers listed for "surface" use.

Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

When it says air only it is in reference to air radio's only. They will not bind to a surface radio. So for your DX6i it will be fine.

Hey Mavrick0,

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll be getting DX6i with the AR610 because it comes as a package from "amain.com" in California. Hope this company is reliable.

Thanks again.

I've dealt with Amain for a long time and have never had a single problem. You shouldn't have any worries with them. Glad I could help.
